mono-stereo Had lunch in The Quality Chop House in Farringdon today. Had the chateaubriand. Bit of a treat. Expensive but great food.

I worked just across the street from there about 10 years ago so also had lunch in there a couple of times. It was quality indeed.

    Jules72 I’ve been to hardly any of those, but of the London ones on the list I would rate Hawksmoor at no 1

    What would be your no 1 on the list?

        Never quite understood the fuss around steakhouses. It’s not like steak is difficult to cook at home. If I’m going to drop a ton of money on a restaurant meal it’s going to be for something either too difficult or too fussy to make on my own.

          Jules72 hawksmoor at number 1…. Laughable

          Angus Steakhouse nowhere to be seen either, jokes.

            None of those Steakhouses mentioned are in the same league as Keens in NY. Their Porterhouse for two or Mutton Chop are spectacular.

              Just had a look at Keens, the terrible branding aside, it looks ace.

                alistair Their Porterhouse for two or Mutton Chop are spectacular.

                Do they taste any good though?

                  Keens is my fave chop house in NY. Tremendous dining rooms and the place is steeped in city history (est 1885). Peter Lugers, Gallaghers and Smith & Wollensky have also been top notch. Generously sized so need for starters in any of them, although I would never turn down the jumbo shrimp cocktail

                  Smallman1 went to Gaucho in Richmond today… a chain and bloody expensive perhaps, but it was pretty damn good and a great location all the same

                      More like Oucho when the bill comes.

                      That one’s for Dave!

                      Jules72 Richmond is lovely when the sun is out. Were all the seats white leather?

                        The seats at the Goucho I went to were cowhide.

                        Very elegant I thought.

                          Smallman1 must all be different. Only one I went to near Spitalfields market was faded white leather.

                              I’m with JYW, steak is difficult to fuck. Congratulations to all these incredible restaurants who’ve located an excellent supplier.
